Printable Halloween Decorations

Free printable Halloween decorations from Mia's craft Ideas, with
easy to follow instructions and photo's. These bat and cat cut outs are a
cheap way to decorate and join in the fun at Halloween.

These templates are outlined in black so you can print them on to paper
and then cut them from black card. I know how expensive printer ink
costs and I try to keep the costs down as much as possible.

The templates give you basic shapes that you can change and adapt to make your own unique decorations.

Printable Halloween Decorations Template

Download the template below by clicking on the thumbnail. All my templates are PDF files as they are easy to use and print.

You will need acrobat reader installed on your computer to view and
print these templates. You can download it for free
by clicking on the adobe reader button on the right.

Printing the Template

Most printers will allow you to print directly on to thin card. If
you are using patterned card make sure that you print on the plain side.
If your printer will only allow you to print on paper then there are a
couple of different ways to transfer the template to card.

One
way is to glue the paper template to the card you can use any type of
glue suitable for paper. Spread the glue thinly across the card then
lower the paper on top. Smooth out carefully removing any air bubbles.
Make sure the glue is completely dry before cutting.

The other way will only work if you are printing a template that is easy to reproduce. Secure the paper to the card with tape, using a pencil and
ruler if drawing straight lines, go over the lines on the template. Press hard enough to mark the
card but not so hard you make holes in the paper.

Mia's Top Tip

Once you have printed the templates cut out the decorations from your card or paper.

The black cat has features that you can cut out and stick on or you can
leave it as a silhouette cut from black paper or card to leave a shadowy
presence in your party room.

Attach elastic to the back of your cats and bats and hang them over your table or from the corners of the room.

Mia’s Craft Ideas

These decorations can be printed onto a lighter
colored card for the kids to color in as a Halloween activity.

You could color them in using glow in the dark pens.

Using an orange glow in the dark pen on the eyes will make them look very spooky in the dark.

Here's a game idea you could try. Print out several copies of the bats and cats. Put the bats in one pile and the cats in another.

Draw a symbol like a square on one bat then draw the same symbol on one cat. Draw a different symbol on the next bat and cat until you have used them all.

Lay them all on the floor face down and mix them up. The kids now take it in turns to find matching pairs of symbols.
